Summary: The second volume of The Age of Reagan provides a complete narrative history of the Reagan presidency and its aftermath, covering both domestic and foreign policy. The book pays special attention to Reagan’s battles within his own party as well as opposition from Democrats, and assesses how Reagan changed both parties. The Age of Reagan also surveys aspects of the “Reagan Revolution” that were less successful, and its lessons for politics today.
